USA TODAY Sports predicts Rams will, once again, have 4-12 record

The Los Angeles Rams were not exactly impressive during their first season back in the West Coast. Unfortunately, things may not get better.

Before last season, the idea of finishing below .500 was considered below-par for former head coach Jeff Fisher. Now, however, the idea of finishing near this would be a huge step in the right direction for Los Angeles.

While the Rams made huge progress this offseason, Nate Davis recently previewed the season for all NFL teams.

They’re a young team undergoing significant resets on both sides of the ball. And after opening with two winnable games (Colts, Redskins) at home, the Rams play five of the next six away from the L.A. Coliseum, including a “home” game in London bracketed by East Coast games in Jacksonville and New York.

Davis predicts that like last season, the Rams will start out strong. However, he thinks the team will slow down after a long stretch away from home.

Below are the predictions for every team in the NFL. The Jets, Bills, Browns and 49ers all had either the same record or a worse record than the Rams.

How long, then, can Los Angeles stay in this 4-12 purgatory before they break out and improve?
